Boston Bruins fans reveal true colours towards Brad Marchand

A historic and unforgettable trade was made this past NHL trade deadline, March 7, when the Boston Bruins' GM Don Sweeney made the decision to depart with a fan-favourite veteran, Brad Marchand, and fans are not happy.

With over 16 years spent with the Boston Bruins organization, many believed Marchand would spend the rest of his career with this team, but unfortunately things took a turn when the legend was traded to the enemy, the Florida Panthers.

Yet, it was also suggested that Brad Marchand was rejected from an extension this 2024/25 NHL season , leaving many to be curious as to why this transaction was made so quick and forcefully.

However, following this unbelievable move an NHL reporter, Jimmy Murphy, posted a poll on the social media platform, 'X', this morning to see how fans feel about the circumstances and asked if they would've personally extended Brad Marchand for more than a $4 million average annual salary, also known as AAV.

Take a look:

A vast majority of fans revealed that they would in fact extend Marchand's deal if push came to shove.

With the poll currently standing at 57% of fans responding 'YES' and 43% stating 'NO', with only 20 hours remaining on the poll, many seem as though they believe the former NHL player who is now the face of the Boston Bruins, Don Sweeney, may have made the wrong move.

Although many seem to believe this was an unreasonable decision on the Boston Bruins' management, there continues to be drive within the organization.

During the trade deadline, the Bruins organization acquired new players who seem to be extremely proud to be part of the team.

Hopefully these decisions made throughout this year's NHL trade deadline portray positively throughout the duration of the season.
